Over the last five years, demand for hotel rooms in Cenopolis has increased significantly, as has the average price Cenopolis hotels charge for rooms.  These trends are projected to continue for the next several years.  In response to this economic forecast, Centennial Commercial, a real estate developer, is considering a plan to convert several unoccupied office buildings it owns in Cenopolis into hotels in order to maximize its revenues from these properties.

 

 

Which of the following would it be most useful for Centennial Commercial to know in evaluating the plan it is considering?

 

 

(A) Whether the population of Cenopolis is expected to grow in the next several years

(B) Whether demand for office space in Cenopolis is projected to increase in the near future

(C) Whether the increased demand for hotel rooms, if met, is likely to lead to an increase in the demand for other travel-related services

(D) Whether demand for hotel rooms has also increased in other cities where Centennial owns office buildings

(E) Whether, on average, hotels that have been created by converting office buildings have fewer guest rooms than do hotels that were built as hotels

答案是B。

我一直都在B和E之间徘徊，觉得E也很有理啊，如果由办公楼改建的旅馆不如真正的建造的旅馆吸引的客人多，那么这个计划就不能实现。反之。

很迷惑，有谁能帮我解答，谢谢：）

目标是资产最大收益， 如果说OFFICE 本身就很小， 来的人少， 但平均面积的利润依然不错，  比较对象是不改办公楼跟改成HOTEL比较，

题目暗示HOTEL是兰海， 进来就供不应求， 不存在竞争问题

我觉得用yes和no回答b

如果是yes的话：如果将来要办公室的空间的话， 就weaken了计划， 反之就support了计划

E也很有道理啊

(E) Whether, on average, hotels that have been created by converting office buildings have fewer guest rooms than do hotels that were built as hotels
E不对，由office转化成的hotels是否比本来计划盖成hotel的hotel客房少无关！就算是客房少了，也不代表这个计划不能盈利，有可能盈利相对少。如果客房少就证明客人多，客人多就代表盈利。用yes/no判断，客房不比原本盖hotels的hotels少，那就是说更有可能盈利，但也有可能不盈利，这一点和revenue没有直接weaken/support的关系。
相反如果你把B用同样的方法来看，B是可以解释的。如果office space需要的量也增大了，那么这个plan就是得不偿失，把原有的office拆掉盖作hotels的计划就不能算是成功了。

stimulus里面不是说了说个趋势会继续的吗？为什么要选一个重复条件的选项呢？
